[New Post] Tiger Woods ©2009 vs. Michael Vick ©2009 - via @twitoaster http://www.mikesouth.com/uncategorized/t...
the whole thing to me is nuts .He is a fucking golfer not the pope. Tiger should of come out like Letterman said I did it and I have to make it up to my wife.Letterman made fun of himself they laughed and it was done.It took all the wind out of the presses sails.Tiger quiet set them all off on a who can find the most fucked up shit about Tiger party. It's crazy in this country, if someone excels in sports they are held up to a higher moral compass its nuts.
i read recently that a lot of folks are pissed because Tiger presented himself one way, but acted another. Maybe he got just a little too high and mighty, and someone decided to take him down a peg?
Why is the media killing him? Because he is very media unfriendly. He only does interviews on his terms, and very rarely. This is their chance to get back at him. Comparing him to Vick, who is a felon, is just insane.
What really annoys me is the media is treating him like a criminal. As far as I can see no laws have been broken. Rick Reiley of ESPN has just hammered him like he is evil personified (Rick should really look in his own closet first). I understand the tabloid media doing their thing, what gets me is the mainstream media acting like TMZ.
It's cliché, but true. The bigger they are, the harder they fall.
He's an easy target, so they're all taking their shots in the name of "selling news".
The real issue here is that news in this country has become all about the promo and rating rather than primarly about reporting the facts. I'm sure that went on to a degree for Cronkite and Huntley & Brinkley too (I know, I'm dating myself) in terms of what stories got reported, but I don't think it had much influence on the actual story that was reported.
markh59 - Lindsey's not comparing Tiger to Michael Vick as if they did similar things, she's pointing out the fact that Vick did a criminal act, barely got a mention about it (comparatively) and is back to playing ball while Tiger did not do anything criminal and is getting crucified for cheating more than Vick did for killing animals.
Good post Lindsey, and good point. Our country is sex-obsessed. It is not a crime to cheat on your spouse except within the intimate confines of the relationship. When it comes to celebrity sex lives, it's none of our damn business. The first time I heard the frenzy speculation over a seventeen-year-old Britney Spears still being a virgin or not, I could have vomited. Get a life people!
I think that Tiger Woods simply became arrogant. That, combined with money (lots of it), prestige, fame, isolation and an endless stream of brain dead bimbos at parties all went to his head. (excuse the pun).
There were explanations for what he did. No excuses.
If I were his wife, I would hold my head up, and divorce him. For me, infidelity is a deal breaker.
It is him who has lost people's respect. and he is a lost individual at the moment. Not to mention very stupid. IMO.
Michael Vick on the other hand is a different kettle of fish. This guy is just evil and sick. Torturing dogs, hanging them, while he and his friends laugh and socialise yards from wher that is going on.
A feeble apology on tv and Vick is playing sport again?
Only inhuman people kill and torture animals needlessly.
How on earth can people look up to and respect these two individuals?
This world is definitely getting crazier by the second.
Sorry Julie I didn't mean to imply that Lindsey was comparing Tiger to Vick. Others have and that is what annoys me.
